Mickey Arthur has laid down the gauntlet to Pakistans one-day squad as they aim to haul themselves up the rankings to secure an automatic World Cup spot, and says that nobody is safe from the axe should performances not improve.Pakistan were comfortably beaten in the opening ODI at the Ageas Bowl with England well ahead of the rate when rain brought an early conclusion.

And if youre over 30 youve got to be coming to the table more often than not, otherwise its an opportunity to blood some younger players.

Everybody knows theyre on notice.Ive actually started, the other night, going through potential players in Pakistan who can fulfil roles we think were going to need to evolve.

Weve had a real good chat about it and got some ideas about how we can put it right.Ive said to the boys weve got absolutely nothing to lose. I want to see the guys go out and express themselves, play with a bit of freedom. Playing the way we played the other night, were behind the times.Mohammad Amir faced a fitness test on Friday after leaving the field in Southampton with a side problem.
